• Population-specific and trans-ancestry genome-wide analyses identify distinct and shared genetic risk loci for coronary artery disease. - Nature genetics (2020) · Koyama S, Ito K, Terao C, Akiyama M, Horikoshi M, Momozawa Y, Matsunaga H, Ieki H, Ozaki K, Onouchi Y, Takahashi A, Nomura S, Morita H, Akazawa H, Kim C, Seo JS, Higasa K, Iwasaki M, Yamaji T, Sawada N, Tsugane S, Koyama T, Ikezaki H, Takashima N, Tanaka K, Arisawa K, Kuriki K, Naito M, Wakai K, Suna S, Sakata Y, Sato H, Hori M, Sakata Y, Matsuda K, Murakami Y, Aburatani H, Kubo M, Matsuda F, Kamatani Y, Komuro I · PubMed 33020668

  To elucidate the genetics of coronary artery disease (CAD) in the Japanese population, we conducted a large-scale genome-wide association study of 168,228 individuals of Japanese ancestry (25,892 cases and 142,336 controls) with genotype imputation using a newly developed reference panel of Japanese haplotypes including 1,781 CAD cases and 2,636 controls. We detected eight new susceptibility loci and Japanese-specific rare variants contributing to disease severity and increased cardiovascular mortality. We then conducted a trans-ancestry meta-analysis and discovered 35 additional new loci. Using the meta-analysis results, we derived a polygenic risk score (PRS) for CAD, which outperformed those derived from either Japanese or European genome-wide association studies. The PRS prioritized ri

• Combining cross-sectional and longitudinal genomic approaches to identify determinants of cognitive and physical decline - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40374629

  ABSTRACT: Large-scale genomic studies focusing on the genetic contribution to human aging have mostly relied on cross-sectional data. With the release of longitudinally curated aging phenotypes by the UK Biobank (UKBB), it is now possible to study aging over time at genome-wide scale. In this work, we evaluated the suitability of competing models of change in realistic simulation settings, performed genome-wide association scans on simulation-validated measures of age-related deweekcline, and followed up with LD-score regression and Mendelian Randomization (MR) analyses. Focusing on global cognitive and physical function, we observed marked differences between baseline function (θ) and accelerated decline (Δ). Both outcomes showed distinct heritability levels (e.g., 31.38% versus 3.15%
